I am not sure this is a good idea, remember we are trying to move to a 
direction where the developers are not individually creating mirrors, 
but instead using a yum download or better yet a Koji Instance to to 
build the packages.

I have talked with folks about this, but I actually think we need to 
break the build down to re-package the Patched SRPMs as a seperate step 
so it can be done on the mirror so each developer does not need to deal 
with patching SRPM or creating the SRPM from the tarballs.


Ultimately the developers should be consuming prebuilt RPMs (noarch or 
x86_64) unless they are specifically changing code for a certain feature 
or functionality in the Flock or Openstack.
